Business Systems Technology

The Business Systems Technology curriculum emphasizes performance-based competencies, integrating both interpersonal and technological skills. Multiple entry and exit points are provided to accommodate re-entry and working students. The curriculum encourages the formation of articulation agreements between secondary and post secondary schools to facilitate a smooth transition through the instructional process. Traditional office skills are emphasized with an emphasis on productivity and accountability. Use of computers and other current technologies is incorporated into the training, as well as, developing interpersonal and professional skills. Certain days are designated as “office dress days” and students are required to participate. By using the combination of traditional office skills and technical skills, our goal is to produce entry level employees who possess excellent technical skills as well as a solid background in oral and written communications. Listed below are the exit titles and approximate training hours required to meet the specific exit proficiency.
